I am really glad that Timon, Pumbaa, Ma, Uncle Max, and Fred have been so artisticly created. They are all really delightful to watch. For fans like me, it's hard to imagine the movie industry without them. I think they are special.

Well, Timon and Pumbaa aren't exactly my fav characters..... ...but TLK 1 wouldn't be the same without them. In TLK 2, I guess it wouldn't REALLY matter if they were in it. I'm not a total fan of TLK 1/2, but it's okay.....

Having their own film was a little much, but Timon and Pumbaa did a great job in the first two films. They added some light relief when the film got too dark.

I think that disney could of did better if they had made that movie about Nala and anwser some questen that need to be well anwserd. like how did nala live her life when simba wasn't around and she thought he was dead. Who was her father? How did she escape the pride lands when scar didn't know? and many more

As for timon and pumbaa. The Movie is called The Lion King! Not "Timon and Pumbaa"
it's not that i hate them, it's that they allready have a disney tv show and disney workers could have did some thing about their lifes on that. even if it had to be a "To be Contenued" Show series.

ok so maybe i went of subject at first. but you get what i mean

Ok Back on subject. if Timon and Pumbaa had never existed? well my guess is that this film could have gone in two ways, and one of them leads to simba dieing im the move.

1. Simba dies. Nala and some other lioness over hears Scar on how he killed mufasa and leads simba to die in the desert. so nala and the other lioness kill scar when there are no hyena around.
but that will be bad. now the questen is who is going to be the next king?

2 Simba lives. insten of Timon and pumbaa saveing simba. it can be a young tiger (a little older then simba) that lives a care free life just like timon and pumbaa that save simba. he can also train simba how to fight and defend himself. and both can still eat bugs do to that they live in the oases jungel. and still have the ending story line. and when they make the Lion king 1 1/2 on a someone more instrsing.

hmm nice therory.. but Tigers don't live in Africa
maybe a leopard could be used though.


1.well Zira did a fine job leading the lionesses in Simba's Pride without a King.. who's to say Nala or Sarabi couldn't do the same?


how is a tiger/leopard more interesting than Timon and Pumbaa?

I'd do nothing.

If they never existed I wouldn't know about them at all so I'd have no need to do anything.

OMG! i would travel through time and fix the mess..i luff Timon and Pumbaa.

I agree. Back when the Lion King was released Timon and Pumbaaa were two of my favorite characters:D

If Timon and Pumbaa never existed I would cry! But seriously I would. They put in the funny in the movies and I love them so much!!

Same with me,they're only cartoon characters.

I think they've become more than just 'cartoon characters'.

A lot of people (like me) have feelings for them! They exist in a world outside of the screen. I mean really, the Timon statue I have feels like a little friend to me.
